An Investigation of US Tariff Deal Priorities and Government Responses, including an Annex with Annotated Tariff Deal Texts.

This Booklet provides visual summaries of the tariff-related deals. We compare the deals' core commitments and their implementation status and provide detailed overviews of the content of each deal, identifying core pledges and conflicting statements. The Booklet only covers agreements where both parties have published official statements about them.

The United States’ new tariff policy has met a restrained response across South America. Except for Brazil, most nations have relied on trade ties and tariff advantages to avoid confrontation. All of this while deepening their economic pivot toward China. Over the past decade, Beijing has overtaken Washington as the top trading partner for much of the region. This shift marks a broader strategic realignment that US tariffs may only hasten. To remain influential, Washington should move beyond punitive measures and pursue a more constructive regional engagement strategy.
